Pretty epic choke by the Clippers. I guess the Clips and Wiz are forever destined to be losers. :(

Cavs-Hawks reminds me of our series a little

But Cavs are winning the rebound battle better

Turned it on for a couple of minutes, but couldn't bear to watch. Too painful, too soon.

Mozgov and Thompson both play bigger than Gortat and Nene.

OTOH, Wall slowed Teague really well. Cleveland handled Korver well, but Beal destroyed Korver. JR Smith might have got 5 threes against the Wizards but not 8.

I think Cleveland is significantly better than the Wizards, too. Atlanta didn't hurt them with the pick and pop. The Cavaliers shut down Horford and Millsap. They controlled the boards. I doubt Washington could win more than one or two games over Cleveland.

That was awesome watching JR go off like that. One legged behind the back step back 3s with a dude in his face. And he hit 8 of them.

And this is without Irving providing much and no Love.

Kind of scary.

Honestly he needs to save that kind of performance vs the Warriors because barring a miracle I give them no shot.

I'm sorry Carroll got hurt. BUt man, if it was going to happen, would it have killed him to do it a week and a half ago?

I had the same thought. And the parallel thought for Lundquist suddenly giving up goals at the pace my weight rises around my birthday.

Harden missed Jones cutting to the basket for the go ahead basket. Jones had a step on Draymond.

Josh Smith was 5-17 last night in a one point loss. Ouch. His ORTG in the playoffs is 99 and his TS% is 50%.

Harden's playoff numbers are slightly better than his regular season numbers but i am sure there will still be people saying his style of play won't work in the playoffs.
